This has been happening to me also on a brand new sub
Occasionally i will look down and the crown is unscrewed.
What the hell

Its impossible for any screw to unscrew by itself so it must be either movement friction like rubbing against clothes or skin.Some wear watches to lose and below the wrist bone where crown rubs against the skin.

Don't wear the watch for an extended period of time to make sure that it's not you who is unscrewing it without notice.

Ya that's weird. If you know it's screwed down "tight" then somethings wrong. Crown tube, O ring...? I've had it happen on different watches but in my case l know it was human error.

I don't believe in long sleeves and my wife's been grabbing in my pockets for so many years that they're loose as hell

LOL.

Also, thread revival like woah.

I have the same problem with my Submariner so a battery with a lower voltage solved my problem.

You are not crazy, I've owned this model twice and noticed on both of them that the crown friction is nothing like that of screwing down a sub. That being said I agree with Peter that this is not happening on it's own. I think this particular model for what ever reason unscrews far easier than the Sub crown and tube.
